Former 1,500m world champion Elijah Manangoi has completed a two-year ban that was imposed on him by the Athletics Integrity Unit for "whereabouts failures", which is a breach of World Athletics anti-doping regulations.

The disqualification from all competitions saw the the reigning Commonwealth Games 1,500m champion miss out on the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the two Diamond League seasons thus making him lose huge financial gains from titles, awards, medals, points prizes and appearance fees.
